F & J Landscaping

Amazing!!! Work. The work was done in 3 weeks I will load up pictures later. Julian is very talkative but his work is outstanding!!! I am so happy with my patio and fence my community wants him to do our clubhouse landscaping and outdoor patio . Thank You Julian Bouldin for everything . Beautiful work best wishes to you and your business.

Mr. Bouldin and his company breached the contract we signed on the 10th of August 2019 by missing the deadline (and not to unforeseen delays but refusal of needing a permit, sparse working on my deck while weather was fabulous, etc.).

1) I asked him whether a permit (before signing the contract) was needed to replace an existing deck and he insisted that it was not the case. I found out almost 2.5 weeks later that a permit was indeed required. I was willing to apply for the permit to save him time as the permitting office personnel in my county informed me what was needed (and my cousin who is an architect could help me). Mr. Bouldin refused to let me apply for the permit and continued to insist that none was needed. However, he finally applied for the permit because the permitting department was aware of my project.

2) He refused to provide me with his business license ID and insurance information that he insisted he had.

3) I wanted to mail him one of the checks and he said that there was a problem with the PO Box (the one listed on the contract). He never provided me with a mailing address. Maybe the one here is wrong, too.

4) I gave him two extensions as he missed the original due date of October 1st, 2019. He insisted that the delays were due to unforeseen delays. September 2019 had only a few rainy days and he did almost no work on my property even after he had the permit. His fiance admitted that he worked other jobs which made sense as he only showed up on my property sporadically and worked for a handful of hours on those days. He continued to insist that my project was the only one. He was the only one building the deck with occasional help of his young son.

5) Mr. Bouldin may provide good quality work, but his time management, condescending attitude especially toward me/women, unprofessionalism, disrespect, and at times immature behavior became unbearable. His over-talking, repetitive lies, and gas-lighting resulted in my requesting he'd remove all his equipment form my property and drop off all the materials I paid for or give me a certain refund if he wasn't going to bring my materials.

6) His contract states inconsistent information: once it states that the balance was due at the completion of the check, but he also hand-wrote on the contract that the balance was due "per request".

I chose Mr. Bouldin and his business because he seemed to be truthful and understood that I requested a deadline because I was going to have surgery soon after. However, a more than 7-week delay is unacceptable without significant excuses or sometimes no explanation at all. I can back up everything I wrote here (texts, contract, and recordings).

Beware of this contractor.

Julian cashed my check for $438.50 the day I gave it to him. I had trouble getting him to come out and he never did anything as promised and I only saw him once the following month. He agreed to have the major work done by May12th and he never showed up. The only time he did come was to mow the grass...after which I had to call and fuss about at that time too. My neighbors actually came and cut part of my grass it looked so bad. He returned $200.00 and has refused to return the rest. I had a party planned for the 12th and Julian promised me the major work would be done by that time. I had to cancel the plans for that weekend. I only saw him once and I hardly believe I should pay him anything...especially $238.50 just to mow the grass once. I paid the neighbor hood kids $20.00 to do that last summer. Julian has thrown off the entire spring schedule and now it's too late to do alot of the things he was supposed to take care of before now. I will be taking him to court for the remainder of my money.
